Chapter 512 The brat makes trouble at the coal station
When a group of little kids arrived not far from the coal station, they began to sneak around and sneaked into the area of Jiangwan Coal Station.
Their actions were naturally not hidden from the people at the coal station, but they didn't care. Although there were usually no children playing here, there wouldn't be any problem if a group suddenly showed up.
The captain's surname was Li, and his name was Li Dayan. The boy's name was a little better, Li Xiaorong, which had a bit of meaning.
Li Xiaorong took his friends and searched around the Jiangwan Coal Station. There were indeed discarded tires in the coal station, but they were all outer tires and could not be turned into rubber bands.
Fortunately, he found a few rubber products on the ground that were not thick. Li Xiaorong didn't recognize what they were used for, but they were quite elastic and could be used as rubber bands, so he started tinkering with them.
"Brother Rong, there are only five rubber bands, so I can only get two pairs. I just saw the same one. It seems to be quite elastic. Can you use it?"
Li Xiaorong stopped what he was doing and looked in the direction of the young man's finger, and found that it was a lifebuoy on the boat.
Although there is no lifebuoy on his boat, after two years of sailing, he has not only seen it but also used it. When he was practicing water skills, Li Dayan borrowed it from other boats for him to use.
The lifebuoy was made of rubber and had good elasticity. Li Xiaorong knew it could be cut into rubber bands, but it was not cheap and might cause trouble if it was touched.
But the friends next to him looked at the lifebuoy with intense eyes. Li Xiaorong had no choice but to lead his group to get closer, but he also kept an eye on it and made some noise.
There was a middle-aged man in his thirties in the coal station. He had been paying attention to the movement here and saw a group of people gathered around the boat. When he walked over, he saw a few children inside, deflating the lifebuoy.
"What are you doing?" As soon as the man asked, a group of young men saw that they had been caught, some were at a loss, and some were hiding life preservers.
When the middle-aged man saw the life preserver and a new slingshot made by Li Xiaorong, he immediately understood what was going on.
The man's expression softened a bit, and then he heard some movement behind him. He turned around and saw the person coming, his expression changed slightly, then he immediately recovered and went to greet him with a smile on his face.
Then he saw the man, pointing at Li Xiaorong and his gang for a while, as if reporting a report, and patting his chest for a while, as if saying he could solve it. During this process, the man kept a flattering expression on his face.
The visitor glared at Li Xiaorong and the others fiercely before turning and leaving. The middle-aged man quickly nodded and bowed to send the people away, then turned and walked towards Li Xiaorong and the others.
The middle-aged man scolded Li Xiaorong and others, and finally said: "Put the good one back! It's very expensive. If it's broken, your parents won't beat your butts. I have a broken one over there. Put this one back."
Put it back and I'll give that to you."
A group of boys looked at each other, but in the end it was Li Xiaorong who took the idea and put the lifebuoy back, then led everyone and followed the man straight to the coal station.
When they arrived at the place, the middle-aged man took out several damaged lifebuoys from a utility room. He also took a knife and cut rubber bands of suitable width for a group of boys.
The rubber bands are either wide or narrow. The wide ones are about one centimeter. They are divided according to the age of the boys. There are also those as narrow as about one millimeter, which are used for tying.
Finally, the middle-aged man found some discarded pieces of leather, cut them into bullet pouches, and gave them to Li Xiaorong and others.
The materials were complete and the slingshot was not complicated to make. A few young men learned it after watching Li Xiaorong do it twice, and started to help others make it, with Li Xiaorong giving guidance.
After spending nearly half an hour at the coal station, a group of boys already had slingshots in hand, picked up a pile of stones at the coal station, and rushed around the coal station. From time to time there was a burst of cheers, and they didn't know who was hit again.
The man who had been persuaded to leave by the middle-aged man appeared again with a dark face and said in a very impatient tone: "Manager Sun, this group of people is very suspicious. Do we need to investigate them carefully?"
The middle-aged man known as Manager Sun couldn't help but feel confused when he heard these words: What nonsense is suspicious? I don't understand you yet? Isn't it just that I feel uncomfortable and want to find someone to vent my anger on!
A bunch of brats, although they don't come here very often... Come... As he thought about it, Manager Sun had a bold idea in his mind, but he was killed by himself in the next second.
Thinking about the sporadic news I heard from these guys during this period, I should have done something and it didn't go well. I have accumulated a lot of anger in my stomach. Maybe I will vent my anger on these guys.
.
This group of boys are from the surrounding villages, so they must not move around, otherwise they will definitely cause trouble, and they may be in big trouble, but they cannot be allowed to act recklessly.
Thinking of this, Manager Sun still had a smile on his face, but he said in an unquestionable tone: "Captain Chen, he is just a brat, what's the problem? If they want to play, just let them play for a while.
What’s the point of arguing with them?”
"Hmph..." Captain Chen listened and stared at Steward Sun. Steward Sun didn't flinch and ignored it with a smile. Captain Chen finally snorted coldly and turned away to express his dissatisfaction.
Although he was dissatisfied, Captain Chen did not continue to make trouble, but gave in. He knew that although Manager Sun's status was not very high, he treated everyone with a friendly smile, but that did not mean that he was someone who could be manipulated.
character of.
Not to mention that the other person had been here many years before me and was quite trusted by his superiors. There was no need for me to interfere with other people's affairs just to feel unhappy.
The boat owner, Li Dayan, went to look for cigarettes with his relatives. If he took a shortcut, he would have to pass by the coal station, but this relative chose to take a detour. Li Dayan used this topic to inquire about the coal station.
.
This relative of Li Dayan's story is similar to that of the fisherman on the river, except that there are less exaggerations and more insider details.
This is not surprising. After all, they are just outsiders on the river. There are some bad things that they will definitely not tell the truth. Now that they are half of our own people, they can naturally reveal more.
"Old cousin, I just saw that boy from mine brought a group of people to the coal station. He offended people so hard in your village. Is there anything going on?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Don't worry, it's okay. The relationship between adults is quite tense, but it's not like I'm angry at my children, and I don't dare to do it. After all, we still have to continue doing business, right?"
Besides, the first group of people who worked at the coal station have all left, and only the boss is left. This group of people come here, and they all come from the village for food and drink. In fact, there is not much support.
It’s just that everyone tacitly understands it and keeps a distance from each other. After all, the boss is still the boss, and they have to support their families, right?”
After hearing this, Li Dayan did not continue to ask, but asked another question, which was what happened to the relative arranged by the village chief.
"What kind of relative! Well...just the village chief's illegitimate son..."
After this relative told him, Li Dayan learned another inside story. It turned out that there was a widow in the west of the village who had fled to the village and was arranged by the village chief to live in her old house.
"When the woman came, the village chief, Papi, not only gave her the old house to her, but also ran there every day. A year later, the widow gave birth to a son.
Everyone knew what was going on, but there was a tigress in Lao Papi's house. Lao Papi didn't dare to recognize it at all, so he claimed that he was the widow's husband's posthumous son. He also said that he was pregnant for twelve months because it was the reincarnation of the stars.
This old man is really good at bragging, and he dares to make such excuses. Finally, the retribution came. A few days after we arranged to go to the coal station, he fell into the river bay and almost drowned."
"So, it was an accident that the boy fell into Jiangwan! I thought it was the people at the coal station who had tampered with it!"
"Alas..." The man waved his hand and said, "Who can tell this God's matter? It's a man-made disaster, maybe it was arranged by God.
The story given by the coal station was that he fell into a river bay in broad daylight and got entangled in water plants. I was there at the time, and when I checked, I saw vague fingerprints on the boy's ankles.
I was shocked at the time and thought there was something dirty in the river bay. Afterwards the boy woke up and said he had fallen and was caught by something.
At first I really thought there was something dirty, but when I got home and thought about it, something was wrong. If something was dragging you down, how scared would you be! How could you be like him?
Afterwards, everyone thought about it and concluded that it was probably the person who was responsible for the coal station, because the boy stayed away from people at the coal station and soon took his mother to move to the city.
After that incident, no one in the village dared to embarrass the coal station anymore, and basically cut off contact with the coal station. At that time, all the things at the coal station were bought in Wujiang Town. It was not until a new person was hired that the situation eased a little.
"
"Oh..." Li Dayan showed a sudden realization, and then asked some questions about the situation while collecting herbs. Li Dayan grasped the situation and did not go too deep because it was not the time yet.
On the other side, Li Xiaorong and the group of village boys divided into several teams and chased and intercepted them. The birds around the coal station suffered a lot and were killed by a group of people.
Li Xiaorong was the most proactive and accurate. He even had people following him around to carry the harvest for him, and he was almost going crazy.
Fortunately, I didn't forget about the business. I had fun and carefully observed the situation all the way, imprinting the terrain and environment near the coal station in my mind.
There is nothing to say about the terrain. It is basically a plain area along the river. Except for the riverside ridges and the high-rise coal stations, it is all farmland. You can see far into the distance at a glance.
As for the environment, there are large reeds on the side of the river bank, and farmland around the river bay, where crops such as taro, wild rice, and rice are grown.
Because the terrain is not high, it will be flooded when the river rises, so the crops are mostly water-loving crops such as wild rice and taro, and there is very little rice. The areas further away from the river and on higher ground are all rice fields.
.
At this time, the crops have not been sown for a long time. They are still some seedlings, very short. The wild rice has grown to half a person's height, but that's right. They were planted too late. When the water rises during the rainy season, they are too short and get soaked. They are not overgrown.
Can't live.
It was afternoon. These birds probably had not been beaten much and were not very defensive against people. Li Xiaorong led a group of people and really gained a lot. With only a few people, they carried them back to the village in a swaggering manner.
The villagers were quite happy to see it. After all, the natural environment at this time was still very good, and these birds were still abundant, and they were far from being in need of protection.
For most organisms, as long as their habitats are not destroyed by large-scale pollution, or they are hunted on a large scale, in an organized and purposeful manner because of their huge economic interests or other reasons, they will not face a crisis of survival.
(The plot of this article is based on the background of the times. Nowadays, many wild animals and plants need everyone's protection. Please do not imitate the plot in the novel. Of course, if you have traveled through time, just pretend that I didn't say anything...)
When Li Da saw that Li Xiaorong and others had brought so many things, he immediately came up with a plan and made a suggestion, saying that the children were all doing it together, and it was difficult to divide them up, so he might as well get together and find the parents of the children.
After a meal, I also bought wine with my own money and weighed several kilograms of pork.
In order to get the benefits promised by Zheng Junshan, Li Dayan also worked hard and worked hard even if he was bleeding.
Relatives and others didn't have any objections when they met. After all, they were all from the same village, so it was common for them to eat and drink together, not to mention someone buying wine for you now.
Not long after, a group of neighbors gathered in the yard of the relative's house. Li Dayan sent out several rounds of cigarettes and toasted a few glasses of rice wine, and the group started chatting.
The topic was naturally inseparable from Jiangwan Coal Station. On the one hand, Li Dayan guided the topic, and on the other hand, things were made around Jiangwan Coal Station, so we naturally wanted to talk about it.
I have been on the ferry for half a day at Zheng Junshan in the waterway outside Xiaoying. Several other teams have completed the investigation and came over to report. I was alerted to the fact that there is a dock in Ma'anshan further up, which is a bit suspicious, but other places have been ruled out as suspects.
.
In fact, Zheng Junshan had basically determined in his heart that Jiangwan Coal Station was the target he was looking for. As expected, not long after, a small boat came in and reported the news that the Ma'anshan pier had been ruled out.
Although this further verified Zheng Junshan's guess, Zheng Junshan was a little anxious because Li Dayan and his son had been away for too long, and he had other arrangements later, and he felt that he couldn't wait any longer.
After waiting anxiously for a long time, the team member who had arranged to check on the situation came back, and Zheng Junshan immediately asked about the situation.
When he learned that Li Dayan was in the village, eating and drinking with a bunch of people, Zheng Junshan's first reaction when he heard this was to get angry, but when he thought more deeply, he figured out why Li Dayan made such an arrangement.
"I see, then the fisherman's family should be in the village too! Will we meet him? If we do, we might get involved!"
After hearing this, the team member replied: "There is a high probability that we will not meet each other. The place where they eat and drink is in the east of the village, and the fisherman's house is in the west of the village, so it is difficult to meet them.
As for coming on your own initiative, it's unlikely. On the one hand, the fishermen don't drink. On the other hand, the reason for gathering together is that Li Xiaorong led a group of people to hunt a lot of birds. The parents of the children in the group went there, and the fisherman's children were not among them."
"Oh..." Zheng Junshan was a little surprised. Finally, he patted the team member on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Not bad, not bad. It seems that you paid attention to this situation first and will continue to work hard in the future.
Now I still need you to make a trip back to the city to report the situation on my side, and say that I may have to go back later. If you tell the captain or Lao Lin like this, they will understand."
"Oh... ok..." The team members didn't know that Lin Mo and the other three had something to do at night, so they were confused, but they still agreed and got on the boat and headed towards Nanjing.
